I loved this! Sometimes I think that I'm the only one who cares about politicians making money with their elected office.
How is this quote above for some political humor?
Is this just political propaganda?
Is there any truth to the charges that members of Congress, especially the Senate, come out of decades of public service on their salaries 10s of millions richer?
Is this a problem of just 1 party or both parties?
Wikipedia shows only 11 Presidents left office worth 1 million or less (by 2016 dollars):
Obama was worth 40 million.
Clinton 75 million.
Bush 39 million.
Reagan 14 million.
Jimmy Carter 8 million.
I listed men from both parties to be "politically correct" when I put this on my Facebook page.
Here I don't care b/c I feel like I could speak openly with a more informed conservative base.
Translation: you know what's going on!
Some of these men worked in private business and some only worked in public office their whole lives.
The Truth is out there.
By the way: Truman went into a financially-difficult retirement, and I read where he was penniless when he died leaving no inheritance to his daughter.
